Welcome

Welcome to the Buffalo State Accounts Payable Department website. Our department processes campus-related payments from state appropriated funding based upon specific campus policy as well as policies, procedures, and guidance set by the New York State Office of the State Comptroller (OSC) and the State University of New York (SUNY) administration.

Our department is subject to audit from OSC, SUNY, and the Internal Revenue Service.

The goal of the Accounts Payable Department is to process payments in a timely, accurate, courteous and professional manner.

IMPORTANT NEWS

Statewide Financial System Shutdown

The State of New York will upgrade the Statewide Financial System (SFS) from September 28 through October 15, 2015. During this period, all state agencies, including SUNY campuses, will not be able to process vendor payments or employee reimbursements for travel and supplies. The shut-down period does not apply to the Procurement Card, Travel, and NET card purchases.

The expected date to re-open SFS Production access to agencies is Wednesday, October 14, 2015 pending completion of the Lapsing and EE1 (Enterprise Enhancement Phase 1 Project) upgrade processes and catch up process for the blackout period. Once this process is complete, the SUNY Controller’s Office will notify agencies as to when they can resume processing payments.
